i had my OEM wipers for 3 yrs. replaced them with Tripledges. Now i just bought Car & Driver wipers from Target. What wiper work well and last long?

I usually buy the RainX refills. We tend to get alot of rain and snow in the winter and they do a pretty good job of keeping the window clear. Oh, plus I RainX my windows about once a month to keep em clean when it rains. Works like a charm. Plus once I hit about 45-50 MPH on the freeway I don't have to use the window wipers anymore, the rain just beads and blows right off the windshield.

I heard pretty good comments about the Anco wiper blades, which I use now. People say that they last longer than the Bosch blades, which are only good for the first half year or so. I have the normal Anco blades (instead of the aerovantage one) for half year now, and they are still doing nicely like it's on day one.

Read this with a nasal sounding nerd voice so you sound like me.
Consumer Reports did a test on wiper blades and said that the best are usually the original equipment. CR also said that OE are the most expensive.

I don't know about the max wipers but the stock ones on the altima suck. I have bosch micro edges on my wipers.

Don't skimp on wipers. Anything with rubber shouldn't be budgeted (tires, belts, hoses and wipers) Best blade is the Bosch. May not last a full year, but won't chatter, smear or miss. Never buy replacement inserts because the contacts are never as good as when you replace the entire blade. I've tried 'em all in rainy Floria. Tridon, Anco, Lexor, etc. Bosch is by far the best. You won't regret buying them.
